  • What to think about…

    Think of the things that make you happy. Create the fuel that destroys depression. Do not think of things that make you sad; think of things that make you happy. 

    · Think of the blessings that surround you. 

    · Think of your friendships, people who love you, who care about you, who are there for you. 

    · Thinks of the gains that you have made in life. You may have had some setbacks, but you have also made progress. Think about that.

    · Think of the good that is spoken of you. People who love you and care for you say good things about you; think about those things. 

    · Think of the days of health, vitality, pleasure. The more you think about that, the more those things are going to come back into your life.

    · Think of the days that were filled with sunshine. Do not look at the clouds; look at the sun. Do not look at the despair; look at the good. Think of yourself taking a walk in the sunshine. 

    · Think of the hopes that lie before you. There is a greater future. Never live in the past. There is another chapter being written for your life, another tomorrow. The page is going to turn.

    · Think of the service that you still can give if someone needs you. Someone needs the gift, the skills, the abilities, the wisdom, the knowledge that only you can give because you are unique, one of a kind. There is nobody else like you.

    · Think of the happiness of others, because there you will find your own happiness. Think about how you can bless other people. Life is an echo: whatever you send out is going to come back. You can have everything in life you want if you help other people get what they want. 

    Remember: You are God’s best!

  • Thanksgiving: Thankful

    I’m happy to be Yours. That closing sentence really resonated with me this morning during devotions when this prayer came up from the list.

    Thank you

    I’m grateful

    Jesus, thank You for Your life on earth—for the time You spent teaching us, loving us, and suffering on our behalf. I’m grateful You made a way for us to have an eternal relationship with You. You are my everything—I’m happy to be Yours. Amen.

    Happy

    What makes you happy? Well, maybe not “happy” but some other kind of feeling like content, secure, mellow or perhaps it is some form of happy, This is a bit of an unusual “happy” but it’s these knives.

    My Pen Knives

    I’ve had these two knives for quite a long time, I don’t exactly know how long but quite some time. I think they were gifts, for sure one of them was and I may have bought the other one. I believe my mom and/or a special aunt gave the knife to me. I think at one time they both had the brown plastic / fake leather case but now there is only one.

    These are great title knives and I usually have one of them in my jean pocket.

    However, from time to time one of them goes “missing”. In these times I find my level of “happiness” decreases a bit because I’m sad that I can’t find the knife that has become a special treasure in my life. On occasion both of them go AWOL and this causes quite a bit of consternation.

    They are usually discovered on a closet floor having slipped out of the pocket or in a pair of jeans that have been left at the lake or jeans that have been put away in a drawer or at the bottom of a stack of other jeans.

    In any case, missing knive(s) is a significant event in my life and re-discovering both knives brings a special type of satisfaction or happiness. Over the years they have come and gone for varying lengths of time. Currently, they are both “home”. In the full scheme of things this is a tiny thing and hard to explain but it’s still a “thing” to me.

    I know nobody cares about this but for some reason I needed to put it down to get it documented and out of my system. Perhaps a future generation will find this curiously interesting. Or not.
